Senior School

It was wonderful to see our community come together last week to celebrate Multicultural Day across both sub-schools. The enthusiasm, creativity, and pride shown by students in sharing culture, food, music, and dance created a vibrant atmosphere. A particular highlight in the Senior School was our Multicultural Chapel, which provided a meaningful opportunity to reflect on diversity, belonging, and an awareness of how other cultures show and celebrate their faith. 

We also extend our congratulations to the student who performed in the Tuesday Lunchtime Rock Concert. What a fantastic event - full of energy, talent, and more dancing. It was a joy to see students take the stage and share their abilities with such enthusiasm to a crowd of students across both sub-schools. We hope this is the first of many opportunities like this throughout the year.

A special shout-out as well to the band who performed Hysteria by Muse at assembly last week - next level! Your skill, teamwork, and stage presence were outstanding and certainly left a lasting impression.

By the time you are reading this, our Athletics Carnival will have taken place. Events like these are always a highlight of the school calendar, bringing together House spirit, friendly competition, and plenty of fun. I would like to congratulate all students on their participation, effort, and sportsmanship. It is this collective energy that makes the day so enjoyable for everyone involved. 

Looking ahead, we are preparing for our Reconciliation Walk next Tuesday. This is an important opportunity for our community to come together in reflection, learning, and commitment as we continue to deepen our understanding of reconciliation and our shared responsibility to walk together respectfully.
